I'm on a mission
A vision to liberate my people
But they named me a villain
Because they're villagers
That mission turns me
Into a stranger in my home land
Because they're scared of their shadow
Keeping them shallow
Swallowing the truth
So they live in deceit
What's easy
Settling for the least
Because of the test
They avoid the best
Now they live without rest
Because they're consumers
Not producers
Whatever they get
They spend a lot
They wander about
Even just for a meal
Creativity they don't seal
Mediocrity their deals
Trying to fix the past
That's already known
Instead of facing the future
That's unknown
They're afraid of bad days
Even nature face this stage
Forgetting nature always nurtures us
Showing us according to our thrive
What you give you get
Maybe you're sharing
Or probably you stole
That's gonna put sore in your soul
Instead of becoming whole
You become a wolf
Not to devour an enemy
But self devourers.
Still computing, always calculating
Even when they are competing
We never compare but repair
So we don't live in dispiar
For we're always a frontier
Steadily facing adversity
Ready to liberate all that's behind.
Fighting until we conquer
Taking our tribes higher
Without bribes or been tired
Putting our badge on the map globally
We never retreat, neither did we surrender
Fighting even when we're bleeding.
Bleeding from all limitations
Steadily thriving for liberation
To be free from starvation and stagnation
Fighting with determination and enthusiasm
Steadily fighting against every opposition of our nation.
Duplicate the pinky
Before you take your breath away
Gonna need hear yourself give in there
Yes you isn't
I'm affordable?
Before I lose the brass off my foot
Duplicate the other side
"Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tired of trials, tribulations tensions and tear,
I know salvation can end it all,
yearning for emancipation I hold dear,
Oh lord! Show some mercy, please liberate me.
Desirous of dissolving in divine,
I want to savour ultimate bliss,
that is the only thing I pine,
Oh lord! Show some mercy, please liberate me.
Suffering for sins silently and still,
give me sorrows for they dissolve sins,
through miseries many all my sins you kill,
Oh lord! Show some mercy, please liberate me.
Benevolent lord bestow blissful being,
for it brings eternal boundless joy,
from the cycle of birth and death help me in fleeing,
Oh lord! Show some mercy, please liberate me.

The formidable mountain of life
needs to be climbed, the summit reached
on the track undefined, direction unknown.
Surrender to the designed will of God,
in His prescribed ordain you repose trust,
faith will pave the path, open the door of dreams
to the plateau of placid fulfillment.
The tumultuous ocean of life
needs to be sailed, the last anchorage found.
Kindle beacon of hope on edge of vague tomorrow,
in stormy sky you’ll see the silver-lined cloud.
In dark night the pole star will shine bright,
help you chart your course, follow the divine light
to the shore of profound bliss.
The dark trampled alleys of suffering
need to be lighted, the broken hearts mended.
Light the candle of selfless charity laced with love,
illuminate them with the glow of God’s grace,
your liberated soul will then rest in peace.

Like To Liberate from Trump
From Trump would like them to liberate;
When this was done we could celebrate;
Not be annoyed;
Peace enjoyed,
While we were happy from state to state.

20 football fields per minute
Our Earth is skinned alive.
50% tropical trees are gone
And every house is a quote of forests.
20% world’s oxygen the Amazon
Votes they’re like trees, we need forests.
25% cancer cures come from Amazon
So burn a Monet to warm porridge.
20% greenhouse gases from deforestation
So print money from the rainforests to save them.
30% covered by rainforests, now 5
Still we cut our family tree.
60% rainforests clearing for cattle
Nation that destroys soils destroys itself.
50% world’s organisms live in rain forests
Elephants survive if forests survive.
Trees are man’s best friend but man has treated trees as his worst enemy.
Liberate me my love
Show me the right way to love thee
Sing to me my love
Show me the right way to cherish thee
Serenade me my love
Show me how to care for thee
I have regret of my past , needing to be needed
My hopes that you'd be that one are true
Although your feeling's I've mistreated
I have spent much time relying on your ways
To care for me throughout my life's meaningless days
Liberate me my love
Let your light overwhelm the dark
Liberate my heart to love.... again
